Short Term Rehab Facility
Rehab Facility San Diego
Not too long ago, hospitalization often required extended stays of a week or more for aftercare and recuperation. However, modern hospital policies have shortened these stays to just a few days. For patients who still require continued care and recovery before returning home, short-term rehabilitation programs provide the perfect bridge.
At Bella Vista Health Center, we offer personalized short-term rehab programs designed to help patients recover from surgery, illness, or injury in a comfortable and therapeutic environment. Our compassionate team of medical professionals creates individualized rehabilitation plans aimed at accelerating recovery and restoring independence as quickly and safely as possible
